Current Projects
Anderegg property:
North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD) and the City of Damascus are partnering to develop a park concept plan for the Anderegg property, located at 16083 SE Anderegg Parkway, in Damascus. Purchased by NCPRD in 2002, the site is located in the Trillium Neighborhood and is planned to be a neighborhood park. Let us know what you would like to see in this park by attending planning meetings or by submitting comments via mail, e-mail, or telephone. The purpose of the meetings is to share information and to receive citizen ideas for park development and public use. Your input and ideas will help shape how the property will be developed for future use and enjoyment. The City will be providing a BBQ lunch during the January 2012 meeting, hosted by the Committee for Citizen Involvement. Questions, suggestions or comments may be sent to Carrie Brennecke by e-mailing cbrennecke@damascusoregon.gov or by calling 503-658-8545.
Two meetings have been planned: Saturday, January 7, 2012 and Saturday, February 18, 2012. Both begin at 11 A.M. Located at Sunnyside Community Church, 16444 SE Highway 212, DAMASCUS, OR 97089
OPEN HOUSE #1 FEEDBACK SUMMARY
North Clackamas Park-North Side
The area north of Camas Creek presents an opportunity to create a passive recreation setting with an emphasis on environmental enhancement and education to balance the active recreation opportunities south of the creek. The key goal of the plan is to minimize environmental and property impacts, provide for ease of maintenance and longevity and provide a safe and enjoyable experience for the community. NCPRD is working toward adoption of the North Clackamas Park – North Side Master Plan within the City of Milwaukie Comprehensive Plan. Concept Map
The six-mile trail that NCPRD purchased in 2001 will serve as the western portion of a 20-mile regional loop trail (connecting with the Springwater Corridor and the I-205 trails) with a 2011 completion date.
NCPRD and Clackamas County Parks are working together to begin wildfire management planning. The 2005 Clackamas County Wildfire Protection Plan was designed to protect life, property and the environment; and to preserve, rehabilitate and enhance natural systems to serve natural hazard mitigation functions. The wildfire planning project will work to expand that plan within the parks. Phase I of the project began in summer 2010 and will include selecting parks with the highest risk, such as Mt. Talbert Nature Park, identifying projects to reduce fuel loads and creating wildfire management plants. Phase II will begin its implementation.
Luther Road Habitat Restoration Project
NCPRD, the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) and Metro recently partnered to purchase a 10-acre property between Johnson Creek and the Springwater Corridor. BES will soon begin the Luther Road Habitat Restoration Project on the property while NCPRD plans to create a park on the site in the future. For more details on the BES project click the Luther Road Habitat Restoration Project website link above.
Hood View Park offers four full size, all-weather turf softball/baseball fields with lights, one inlay multi-purpose field and a concessions building. Future phases may include a skate park, play areas and a dog run.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
NCPRD develops and maintains a comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP is a planning tool designed to guide the implementation of the District’s Master Plan and to provide acquisition and development of parks and recreation facilities during the next 20 years.
Mt. Scott Creek – Scouters’ Mountain
NCPRD, along with Metro and Happy Valley, will begin concept planning for the Mt. Scott Creek and Scouters’ Mountain regional trail system.
